Barrington Stage Adds New Musical A LITTLE MORE ALIVE & ENGAGEMENTS World Premiere to 2015 Season

Barrington Stage Company, under the leadership of Artistic Director Julianne Boyd and Managing Director Tristan Wilson, announces additions to its 2015 season schedule.

BSC's acclaimed Musical Theatre Lab, overseen by Artistic Director Julianne Boyd and Artistic Producer William Finn, will present Nick Blaemire's new musical A Little More Alive, from July 17-August 8 on the St. Germain Stage.

Directed by Tony nominee Sheryl Kaller (Next Fall, Mothers and Sons), A Little More Alive features book, music and lyrics by actor and writer Nick Blaemire (Glory Days).

In this heartfelt and original folk-pop musical, two estranged brothers reunite at their childhood home after their mother's funeral. An unexpected revelation distorts every memory they have as they uncover secrets that had been hiding in plain sight their whole lives, Nate and Jeremy find that no one is exempt from the grey area between right and wrong.

Produced in 2014 at Kansas City Repertory Theatre, A Little More Alive was called a "touching, original story by one of America's most exciting young playwrights... imbued with undeniable human warmth," by the Kansas City Star.

A Little More Alive is sponsored by Judith Goldsmith & Carrie and David Schulman and sponsored in part by Drs. Judith and Martin Bloomfield.

Next on the St. Germain Stage is the world premiere comedy Engagements by Lucy Teitler, directed by Louisa Proske from August 13 - 30.
